Jeu Tour de France 89 (Domex)
Cyclists from the Domex-Weinmann team who took part in the 1989 Tour de France.
Domex-Weinmann was the name of a short-lived team of cyclists which took part in the 1989 Tour de France. Depicted on the Kings, Jacks, Aces and Jokers are 14 named members of the Domex-Weinmann team; the other seven members are listed on one of the extra cards. An outline map of France has been superimposed on a team photo on all the Queens. The team did not do particularly well that year. The team’s most successful rider throughout 1989 was Thomas Wegmüller, though he only finished 100th in the 1989 Tour de France. Sadly, France Cartes could not spell his name correctly on one of the extra cards – “WEGMUUIR”!
